AT THE Raleigh & CASTOR shops a
reading room is being fitted up for the
employees of that progressive railway
company. 1t is to occupy an entire
building east of the shops and across
the railway track. Standard works.
as well as current literature, are to be
provided, and no doubt the reading
room will be as profitable as popular
Raleigh E0ening Vstor.
Such treatment as this of employees
by employers is the best guarantee
against strikes and disruption among
laborsers. The Raleigh & CASTOR rail-
road company has set an example
worthy of imitation by other corpor-
atoms.

By close attention to business, indus
try and enterprise, there is no caicala-
ting the future ola boy Of the right
stripe. Here is an illustration: Two
of the guets at Mr. Andrew Car
negie's recent wedding in New York
city were men who started in life with
him as telegraph boys in Pittsburg
forty years ago. They were Robert
Pitcairn, the superintendent of the
Pennsylvania western division and
man of wealth, and David McCargo,
who is now the general manager of
the Allegheny Valley Railroad. All
three served in the old Atlantic and
Ohio Telegraph office in Pittsburg-
the first ever established there-and
did the entire messenger work of the
place. Each of these old time mes
senger boys has since grown rich.

The Germantown M6fbendent is
evidently not pleased with some things
connected with the policy of distribu-
ting Offices under the present Admin
istration. 1t says: 1t would be a safe
thing to bet that if Jefferson and Jack
son, the patron saints Of Democracy,
could revisit the earth and see some of
the people holding place in their name
and speaking for them, that each would
give the other an extensive contract to
kick him.

NEWSPAPERS AND HOTELS.

No two things do more to build ur
town and give 1t a name abroad than
good newspapers and hotels, which
the Baltimore Manufacturers Record
says the growing towns of the South
are in need of perhaps more than any
thing else, and declares that in whatey-
er town these are to be found it is safe
to say that there is energy, activity
and progress. To secure capital and
immigration both are necessary. A
good newspaper, one whose merits are
recognized that its circulation is not
local only but extends throughout the
country, makes known the advantages
OF town, It's merits, resources, ETC..
and attracts the attention of those who
are looking around for an available
place where they can invest their capi-
tai and start in business. They are
likely to be impressed by what thew
read in the papers, and that Journal,
therefore, which makes the best pre-
sentation of the merits of its town or
nelghborhood secures the most atten-
ton and is likely to persuade the CAPT.
talist or would-be immigrant there to
inspect it and see whether it is really
as promising field as its journalistic
representative declares. 1t is then
that the hotel comes into play. The
stranger comes to inspect and spend
some days or weeks in the town.
which he expects to make his home
If the hotel at which he boards is neat
clean and comfortable it completes
his conquest. A man who has slept
we'll at night and eaten a good break
last in the morning is likely to enter
tain a favorable view of the world.
II, on the other hand, the mattress is
nard, the room unt!dy or unclean, the
breakfast badly cooked, how can the
visitor, afflicted with the dyspepsia
hat is certain to follow, see any favor
'ble signs, however active the facto-
les may be. 1t was Dickens who de-
Jared that mans view of the world
vas more or less affected by what he
lad eaten for dinner-an assertion +
hat has been verified thousand times ,
newspaper, therefore, that will point /
ut the advantages of town, and :
otel that will make the visitor com l
'rtable and give him a favorable view Il
life, are essential to the prosperity n
any town needing capital, immigra- Il
on and enterprise to utilize and de- J.

Ire has blessed it. y, ~

WHIT was three years ago a pop
ular fallacy on the part of Repub-
lican leaders and newspapers, or what
was pretended to be one, when they
declard with one accord, that the res
toration of the Democratic party to
power meant severe check to the
Union sentiment, the payment of the
Confederate war debt, the re-enslave-
ment of the negro, the adoption of a
fiscal policy that would depreciate the
currency and result in widespread
financial ruin and the total PARALYSIS
OF our business affairs, has been explo-
ded, says the Charleston Ae5os and
Courier. Not one of these predictions
has been fulfilled, and the United
States are stronger to-day in every
field of enterprise than at any previous
period before or since the war.

The Franklin Times voices our SEN
tlmentS as expressed time and again in
these columns, where it says: "What
We need is population; what popula-
ton wants is work to support it. The
solid wealth of every community is not
IN barter or sales, but in the one ele
ment that brings the forces of nature
from the earth, and the other that util-
ICES them. The man who raises corn
and wheat and oats is one motive
power, the man who digs out gold and
silver and iron and lead is another,
These are great producing elements.
Alter them comes the skilled artisan
who adapts these articles to use; the
miller who converts the corn and wheat
into flour or meal; the skilled mechan-
&c who transforms the crude iron and
lead into something of practical use.
The bulk of the population of all towns
must necessarily consist of mechanics
and laborers; there are not avenues
open in the professions sufficient to |
support any large population. The
town that can show the most artisans
and laborers at work to-day presents
to the stranger the strongest guarantee
of permanent success.

COMMENTING on the recent &C
ton of the State Board of Agricul-
ture in electing a new Commits
sioner, the Charlotte Chronicle says
This is an age of progress-progress
in all the avenues of business and vo-
cations of life. Inactivity has been
RELOCATED to past ages. 1t is a time
for moving up and pushing forward, as
it were At the last meeting of the
State Board of Agriculture, held in
Raleigh the latter part of last week, a
new Commissioner of Agriculture was
eleCted-John Robinson, Esq, of
Arson county. He is we'll known to
the people of this section of the State,
and is a gentleman fully identified
with the farming interests, being a
practical farmer. He is progressive
and studious to promote the interests
of agriculture in every way. We are
also told that there is nothing theoreti-
cal Or fancitul about him. He took
the first prize at the Atlanta exposition
for the best cotton from North Caro-
lima, and this is given as an example
of his practlcability. From what we
can learn he is just the kind of man
to be at the head of the agricultural
department of this State, and for one
we are gratifed at the selection, and
we feel sure that he will be of great
service to the farming interests and
will remove much of the dissatisfaction
which has surrounded this department
IN latter years. We are confident a
new step and more rapid progress will
now be made in this direction"

HE enterprising and indefatigablt
editor and proprietor of the Colds
Ooro Transcript and Messenger, Mr.
julius A. Bonitz, issued a mammoth
trade edition of his paper last week,
which eclipses anything we have seen
come from Southern publishing house.
1t contained twelve large pages OF
nlnety-six columns, filled with valuable
reading matter, being minute descrip-
ton Of Goldsboro together with much
that concerns the State at large.
The paper would be credit to anv
city. Few men have shown such
commendable pluck and enterprise as
marked by the course of the Messenger
all along, but this last stroke is the
grandest achievement yet accomplished
BY the talented and plucky Bontz.

The Wadesboro Intelligence, is
correct when it says not until farmers
become independent of the towns, will
the country regain its old time pros
perity. The farmers can be independ-
.ent of the towns, but never, SO long as
the present system is pursued. They
must make meat and bread at home,
and it can be here made cheaper than
it can be imported.

PRIDE AND THE LACK OF IT

= L i
Most persons m this world are anx'
ious for applause. They like to be vel
thought of, and never object to hear
themselves spoken of in cemmendable
manner. No real objection can be
formed to this, provided sinful vanity
is not at the root of it. Pride, it must
be remembered, is busy sin that spoils
all we undertake. More than this, it
! is bound to he discovered, and the real
object we have in view is often defeated
i by it. When Diogones stepped upon
the flowing robe of Plato, he comically
remarked: "Thus do l trample on the
pride of Plato" The sage turned and
replied: eyes, Diogones; but with
greater pride of your own" 1t was
evident that Diogones took pride in
making display of his impudence
before the rabble. There are many
persons who act to-day precisely like
Dlogones did. Some who are natur-
ally dirty and slovenly hate to see
gentleman wear a clean shirt. We
once heard clownish fellow remark
about some genteel folks, who although
poor, always appeared in company
neatly dressed: "Those people put all
they have upon their backs, and starve
their stomachs." A bystander quickly
replied: ''That is more commendable
than to make a hog of yourself by
putting all you have in your stomach
and go like a vagabond. The cap
seemed to fit the first party SO perfectly
that he skunk away with stupid grin.
Very few persons are SO poor that they
cannot make decent appearance when
they appear on the streets and even
when at home. To appear like a
sloven at home and on the streets like
a princess or Lord Chesterfield, is
shoddy and vulgar. Neatness and
cleanliness of person at home should
always be observed. 1t will not do,
either, to attend to only certain por-
tons of the body and neglect the 9TH
ers. Women particularly should al
ways be careful to keep their hands in
order. A woman with a pretty face
and rough hands, with traces of dirt
beneath the skin and nails, is like the
peacock-his plumage is beautiful, but
you must never look at his feet, his tail
drops Immediately. Weshould respect
ourselves that we would be unwilling
to appear before strangers. Of course
no one expects to see persons who have
heir domestic duties to attend to be
dressed in silks and fine linen, but
hey do expect to see them properly
,ostumed for their work.
Many young zen are so afraid of
being called "mean" that they will
pend the last dollar they have in their
pockets among their comrades for
purposes very often more to be con-
lemned than commended. It is nice
o have the "boys" call them "gen-
rous fellows" Hold on young man;
should always commence {
t home. If you spend money among {
trangers that is needed byrelatives, you +
re really ungrateful, selfish and devoid |
moral courage. Remember that re- :
'tlons stick to you when your money a
gone. Friends, o-called, when ad-
7rslty overtakes you, will disappear
Ike the leaves in autumn. To have too
luch pride is to spoil whatever we un-
ertake; to be without entirely makes
TIT only to associate with animals
lat wallow in the mire. u
